Cellphones can make you impotent. They can cause cancer, and now you might not believe it but they can cause some serious damage to your hearing. Jon reports that some technical snafus can cause hearing damage for users of Siemens handsets. We had heard that K700i is causing some momentary loss of hearing as well (okay that’s a bit exaggerated!) Add to the mix crazy California drivers who drive and talk at the same time, I think it is time that cellphone makers carry a hazard warning: Using Cell Phones can be injurious to your health. On a serious note, Siemens warning should be taken seriously, rest of it is just a bit of early morning snark!
